Abstract:

This thesis describes studies into the pathogenesis of Cholesterol—related early vascular injury. In addition, this thesis examines the potential reversibility of this injury with 2 agents: a) simvastatin, an HMGCoA reductase inhibitor, in a model independent of any reduction in lipids and 2) high dose aspirin. Hypercholesterolaemia led to a decrease in NO bioavailability, in association with a decrease in the enzyme, endothelial nitric oxide synthase and increased oxidative stress. In addition, there was an increase in the pro—inflammatory transcription factor, NF—KB, in the intima o

Abstract:

Statins are widely used to treat hypercholesterolemia. Statins inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis, thereby activating genes involved in cholesterol homeostasis, which are under the control of the Sterol Regulatory Element (SRE). Statins also have cholesterol-independent beneficial cardiovascular effects mediated through the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) / Akt signaling pathway and by inhibition of protein prenylation. Because statins inhibit the synthesis of isoprenoids, they can act by inhibiting the small signaling GTPases Ras and Rho, which require post-translational prenylation to become

Abstract Increased plasma cholesterol is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in middle and early old age. At older ages, this association seems to disappear. Very few studies have assessed the impact of the lifelong cholesterol burden on old age, the purpose of this thesis. Study populations consisted of 1) old persons with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic disorder associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) if untreated, and 2) initially healthy men (The Helsinki Businessmen Study, HBS) followed-up from midlife to old age.

Abstract:

There is worldwide concern over the possible estrogenic effects of organic chemicals on a variety of wildlife and indeed on humankind. In the U.K., estrogenic compounds in sewage treatment works (STW) effluents have been implicated in causing the increases in egg yolk protein production observed in caged male trout and other fish species. At the initiation of the present study, few of the estrogenic compounds in STW effiuents had been recognised, although circumstantial evidence suggested that steroidal hormones were primary candidates. Cholesterol is abundant in STW effluents and is the precu

Abstract:

Background. A high ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, in addition to increased levels of small low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, are important indicators of cardiovascular disease risk. Therefore, interventions that combine the lowering of total cholesterol and raising of HDL cholesterol concentrations that also increase LDL particle size, may be preventive against cardiovascular disease. Plant sterols decrease total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels by 10-15%, while exercise increases HDL cholesterol levels by 4-22%. In view of their compleme
